How to specify node id in the log file?

Question

Hi,

I have deployed jira data center 8.5 using 2 nodes. In each, i have mentioned the parameter "jira.node.id" in cluster.properties.

The local log file doesn't mention the node id which may complicate troubleshooting while consolidating both log files.

1- How can I add the node id in the log file?

2- Can I trace all inputs in one log file in shared home?

Many thanks

Ahmed

I added

“-Djira.node.id=node1”

as an additional JVM_ARGS in setenv.sh because log4j cannot access cluster.properties but can read the system variables.

Then enter the following in the pattern in the log4j2.xml configuration:

${sys:jira.node.id}

Restart the server once and it should work.

Hi Community,

Was it feasible to add nodeId in jira log files?

Thanks
